2018 McDonald's Ponies (USA)

[tailrustedtealeaf]

Anyone find these yet? I think the official start date for these are tomorrow. I am wondering if they will do the two or so a week schedule I remember used to be in place in the past.
Here's a pic of what we're looking at this year in case anyone missed the other countries getting them:

Had no idea—thank you for the heads up. These cuties are SO adorable! I'll keep on the look out.

Oh the start date is tomorrow? I'm going to have to start calling all the McDonalds near me.

The website says the current toys are available "through the 17th". I'm a bit of a mess over the phone but my Mom wants lunch from there anyway, so I'll just enjoy some nuggets if the pony toys aren't in yet.
I'm lucky I actually can stand McDonalds. Maybe I'll pick up some extras for anyone who needs?

Yuck.

I saw that Dash has wheels and Spike's eyes move. Fo the others have gimmicks?

Twilight's horn lights up and Starlight can move her legs... or something. (that's what I've heard)

Starlights gimmick is scampering frantically. It looks like Pinkie has the same gimmick as Rainbow, but I'm not sure.

Nooo, there is not MacDonalds near me and I need atleast Applejack ;^;

Week one is Pinkie Pie and Rarity. They don't have any gimmicks aside from brushable tails.

I'd be happy to grab extras once it's her week!

I went today after work. I got ponies, but they're ponies from last year's set.

Really? That's strange.  I figured that they would want to get rid of the toys as soon as the run ends, or maybe even donate them (that would be a good PR move for them).

I scooped up Pinkie Pie and Rarity, found a few interesting details:
-They come with a plastic tray holder to keep their tail curls in place.
-Pinkie Pie (and by extension I assume Rainbow Dash and AJ) don't seem to have any action or gimmick, they're just in a laying pose instead of a standing pose like Rarity (and I guess Twilight and Fluttershy). Starlight Glimmer seems to be unique.   
-Rarity's cutie mark is on her DS, but Pinkie Pie's is on her DNS, with a couple of visible screws that hold the figure together...
-Their combs are rad, like glittery translucent elementals, with a kinda Steven Universe vibe.
-I didn't realize how much BIGGER these figure are than the regular Cutie Mark Crew ponies.

FUN!

I got pinkie today! They are super cute!

I've got them all! Got Fluttershy and Twilight at one McDonald's yesterday, and the rest at another today. They only put out two at a time to actually put into the meals, but as far as I know they should all get them in a box together at the same time, so you should be able to ask for them to check the back for the rest. When I went in today and told them I was looking for all but the two I already got, they went into the back and grabbed the box that they were shipped in and they were all in there.
